:"For the 2005 Argentine film see Hermanas"."Sisters" is a 1973 independent film directed by Brian de Palma. It is a psychological thriller starring Margot Kidder as a French-Canadian model who is shadowed by her psychotic former Siamese twin, and Jennifer Salt as a feminist reporter who witnesses a murder and investigates the sisters with the aid of a private eye (played by Charles Durning).

De Palma was inspired by reading an article about the Soviet Siamese twins Masha and Dasha. [Interview with Brian de Palma, 1973, reprinted on the Criterion Collection DVD.] The film is heavily influenced by Alfred Hitchcock, and de Palma even persuaded Hitchcock's semi-retired composer, Bernard Herrmann, to write the score. [1973 interview, "ibid".] The film also uses unusual point of view shots and split screen effects to show two events happening similtaneously.
